NEW CLASSES

every Tuesday lunchtime @ 12.00pm

Join me for A Journey of Self Discovery & Transformation

in Pranayama & Meditation

starts Tues 3 Feb

We will start the year exploring the Chakras and begin to understand how our chakras relate to what is going on in our lives. And … how our chakras maybe

“are ever-changing to reflect our circumstances”

(Tori Hartman – Chakra Wisdom Oracle Cards).

This class incorporates the use of mudras (hand gestures), mantra – chant/healing sound, breathing practices and Yoga Nidra – deep healing relaxation. It is a journey of spiritual development – offering tools to transform your life.

Feel free to bring along your favourite crystals, malas, tarot or oracle cards and discover a multitude of ways of shifting your perspective, set intentions, understanding possible blocks and opening up to your potential. And if you don’t have cards or crystals, or are unfamilar with working with them, I have plenty to share.

It’s also nice to have some pen and paper handy as you may find it useful to journal your sessions.

SWEET TLC FLOW

every Thursday with Nic

6.00 – 7.00pm

starts Thurs 12 Feb

By the end of the week you deserve time for some tender lov’n care in this gentle, fluid and stretchy flow. Breathe, unblock the blockages and bring your awareness to the paradise you’ll experience within you body. Yummm!

Soft and gentle —- this hour of flow is for all levels with props available for any asana if needed.

SATURDAY MORNING @ 9.00am

YIN YANG YOGA

with me

Enjoy deep yin poses to open you up ready for some flow and then surrender into some more deep yin holds to lead you into bliss-asana. The ‘Yin Sandwich’ incorporating the blend of movement and breath connecting the poses and the stillness of being in a pose.

Your Body speaks your Mind and yet we are often unaware of the messages our body is showing us.

Come and join Janine for a workshop where we bring light to our emotional anatomy, exploring the body mind connection, energy centres/chakras and yoga.

This workshop is an invitational enquiry into how the mind and body form a unified, interconnected and intelligent network. As we explore the science and delve into emotional anatomy, we bring to light our internal landscape of thoughts and feelings and their evolving impact on our physiology. With newfound awareness, these principles form an integral part of yoga, healing and expression.

Janine will help you to understand:

– What happens to thoughts and feelings in the body chemically

– Why the mind and body are not separate

– How we process experiences at a cellular level

– Energy centres in the body

– How pain, posture, tension and dis-ease can have an emotional charge.

Janine is a psychosomatic therapist and healer based in Auckland, guiding others to understand how the mind and body are not separate and how thoughts and emotions manifest physically. Through a process facilitating embodiment and increased awareness, we can return to a state of homeostasis where healing and growth happen innately.

I am really excited to be hosting this fascinating workshop with psychosomatic therapist, healer and yogi – Janine Gaddie. Tune in to the messages your body is sending, understand your body from a different perspective and watch the transformation.
